greetings.
film like that used to happen to me too, i was confused as to what it was. i since then read what it was, and how to prevent it. i forgot what causes it but if you place your filter output or a circulation pump just below the surface so it causes movement in the top of the water, the film sould disappear.

It is a bio film made of waste, proteins and general funk. Increased surface agitation will help mix it back into the water and increased PWCs will help remove it. To get rid of it right now you can use paper towels... Gently lay them flat on the surface then remove and toss, repeat as needed.
Well said! I just had a post yesterday and learned the same thing. I haven't done it yet,but i need to aim spray bars closer to surface. Good Luck!
